the girls can't dodge it. The Silver
girdle business has become fashionable,
and young men who are addicted to the
arm act are as blue as policemen. It's
hard enough to make an impression
through corset armOr, but when silver
log chain is added mashitive humanity
gives up and takes to lamp posts. The
new girdle is just such an arrangement
as the Grecian maiden used to wear B.
c. to keep their Mother Hubbards from
soaring over their heads and leaving
them in the highly ridiculous and en-
barrassing position of reversed UNI
brella, 1t is made of silver links OF
plates, and'is worn outside of every
thing, for the simple reason that it
would be very uncomfortable thing to
wear inside, and would seriously inter
fere with the fit of a dress. Again,
more people see it on the outside, and
that's what it's worn for. As an article
of clothing the girdle is not practical
success. 1t affords very little protection
in a rain storm or blizzard, and is ealcu-
lated to breed cornS on the hips.
Naturally it is worn around the waist,
because it's too big for the neck. and !.

cOuntry-bOund customers and turned
few dollars commission time out of
mind, but the old idea is taking new
shape, and bids fair to develop on far
more ambitious scale. The present
plan is that of the shopping bureau

and gifted with tact for getting OH with
people as well as purchasing Judgment.
To her one may mail an order for silks,
gloves, IaceS, jewelry, bOnnetS-any-

and hunt up pretty things
at reasonable prices. making
use of opportunities that one could
hardly come upon by sending direct to
any firm. The notion may have been
imported from abroad, borrowed from
the thriving French agencies that do
Paris shopping for ladies in all quarters
of the globe, or it may have sprung up
independently in our soil. AT any rate,
the first New York woman who SySte-
matiZed her business and established
bureau is doing business that may
amount to $4,000 at the end of her first
year, and l doubt if one doesn't hear of
a multiplication of agencies and larger
figures before long. A good share of
the trade is necessarily in matching
shades, obtaining one article to harmon
ize with another, looking up odd bits
and fine goods which the dealers in small
towns do not carry: and balancing COM
mission against discount to the agency,

is one that calls for some small capital
to start, but given that and little COM

of brain. though these later's
earnings are on such scale of plenty
that unless we look beneath the surface

ment characteristic. People who have
sat next to Wesleyan college girls at a
musicale will bear witness to the fact
that their tongue movement is never in
extension, but vibratory, like the con-
cert of grenadier blackbirds late in
the fall :.
On the other hand, the Atlanta girl
talks fast, and as she gaSpS for breath
in the periods where she fears inter-
ruption thrustS her tongue out to its
full length and begins the next sentence
with land" which is thrown in as
claim upon your attention.
The dear little Savannah girl rattleS
away like infantry in a pitched battle,
and interSperSeS her conversation with
laughter, during which she throws her
head back as if to have her tonsils eX-
amined, and lets the musical member
sag in its socket.
The girls of Augusta and Albany are
very much alike in many things; among
others, in the way they conceal their
tongues. They smile and converse
gently, and the ripple of their laughter
is like the sound of brook running on
pebbles hid under ferns and clinging
willows, but not a glimpse of woman=s
weapon do they permit. The Augusta
and Albany girls marry very young.
The Macon girl chews gum, and gives
brief exhibitions of the pink end of her
dainty tongue. The member is worn in
the shape of French roll while she
maSticateS the unreSiSting, but indie
Structible quid; and as she laborS thus

mouth like brackets around an interpo-

quick, that is borne to the ear is not
a voice note, but merely suction caused
by the teeth entering and leaving the
chewing gum. Anybody who has heard
cow walk through mud hole will UNI
derstand the sound attempted in the de-
scription. 1t is said that the Macon girl
before she took to gum was the sweetest
little creature in the world, and no one
ever thought enough about her tongue,
after catching sight of her lips and eyes,
to notice what she did with it. Perhaps
she will reform some day. We shall
see.

NEW York, June 24.-For the love of
heaven don't let the dress reformers
make a guy of you. Now, what is the
prime motive in all feminine dress?
Why, to please the masculine sex, of
course. Even the Indian sQuaw adds a
few extra beads and feathers to eapti-
waite the eye of the favored young chief
of her tribe. Nor is this exactly vanity.
1t is feminine desire to please. This
desire is bornin women. Deprive her
OF it and she becomes a lawleSS mon
ster. First of I'll, decency, in donning
any covering, must be considered. This
is the primitive result easily secured.
Next, woman seeks to be comfortable.
Here her ideas vary with her tempera-
ment. And last of all, in fact, inclusive
OF all, she desires ornamentation. 1t is a
fact here in New York that the very Sau-

With kisses never through the years

their whims. Suddenly a blithe yet
quiet little lady appeared with bit of
gray cheviot i'm her hand. One of the
statesmen, who was waiting for a lady
in black satin gown to determine
whether she would have a yard and a
half or a yard and three-quarters of
percaline, looked at the newcomer with
an expression of mingled inquiry and re-
lief. He evidently recognized her, and
hoped to have the pleasure of waiting
upon her. 1t must have been pleasure
to his soul, tried with the exaSperating
delay of the woman he was serving.
please give me five yards of English
cambria exactly two shades darker than
this eheviOt," said the woman, who
knew what she wanted, ''and one yard

yard of hair cloth of the color of cam

the trimmings counter. She asked for
her silk and twist, cotton, braid, shields
and whalebOneS in the same quick, eX-
act manner, and turned around to the
buttons counter while they were being
done up. She asked for the card of
sample buttons, picked out those she
wanted incredibly soon, then retraced
her steps, gathering up her purchases
as she went, taking a parcel from the
counter Of the cheviots as she passed,
after going to the Innings counter. Prob
ably she hadn't time to have the things
sent home. and one can easily imagine
that she had the dress cut ont and fitted
and half finished before she went to
sleep that night.
